ON the other post Osi hailed Bucks Lab to be a good way in finding films in good colors. While buying UK prints has a good chance to have them printed on Fuji or AGFA, but it does not mean always on those stocks.
I have purchased so many Disney shorts and T&J from UK althought they were printd by Bucks Lab, they are on Eastman, Kodak SP or 3M which have faded.
So to avoid disapointment, ask the seller first. If you dont want to waste your time, buy from dealers who know what does "faded", "stock", "LPP" mean.

I'm sad to hear that you've run into earlier quick fade eastman prints Winbert, but all the prints I have from Buck Film labs are fuji or agfa, so perhaps I have just lucked out. I can only go on personal experience, of course.

I do confirm all prints by Buck Lab are not excellent, though I found lot of them on very good Fuji still holding up very good color (eventually fading in future)and, on the other hand, some on Eastman Lpp which are definitely gorgeous. As Winbert wrote, ask before buying or placing bids.
